Why did the Ice Age end?

Asked by lucillelucillelucille (34325points) November 11th, 2010

Did the caveman drive too many bio-fueled cars?
Or was it a rich Western diet?

Because I got tired of seeing all the ice so I lit a fart.

CMaz's avatar

Yep, as animals started flourishing again and all else that comes with it. So did the output of natural gas.

IE Greenhouse effect.

Once upon a time, a super-volcano erupted and caused a cloud to form inside the atmosphere from the ash it spewed out. It blocked out the sunlight that warmed Earth’s surface, killing off living things that couldn’t survive the temperature change. Eventually, the ash cleared and the sun warmed up the icy Earth’s surface. The rays melted the ice, and the ash provided fertilzier allowing seeds to grow. The flowing water allowed creatures that survived in some type of suspended animation to regenerate. And we all have learned to llive happily ever after. The End.

It’s actually quite a good question. No one really seems to know ‘why’.

ucme's avatar

One thing’s for sure. I live in the North East of England Town, it’s winter soon. Here comes the sequel…..{{{{{sHiVeRs}}}}} :¬(

Well, because the earth got warmer.

YARNLADY's avatar

The Earth’s orbit is gradually regressing (moving closer to the sun) and that is the real reason for the end of the ice age, and the beginning of global warming.

Too much mammoth pee started a meltdown.

Earth has endured numerous ice ages @YARNLADY. It’s quite warm in between them.

The ice age comes and goes because it is a cyclical event, just like Xgirlfriends I can’t seem to shake off.

Father Time lit Mother Earths embers and the mountain peaks exploded, and rivers began to flow, and the ice melted.
So you see the story is an oldy but goody, like the birds and the bees.
It was all a sex scandal.

It was all Nelly‘s fault.

josie's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille was born, and the earth just got too damn hot.

CyanoticWasp's avatar

Whoa, @josiehow old are you saying she is?

josie's avatar

@CyanoticWasp That’s really not what I was trying to say. I was taking poetic license
